Aluminum: How Sustainable is It?
01.25.10| Aluminum, it's everywhere: in our cars, trains, airplanes, buildings,
soda cans, antiperspirants, dyes and right on our kitchen table in the
form of food additives and kitchen utensils. Not a day goes by that we
don’t depend on aluminum. Considering it was discovered only about 200
years ago and available at commercially reasonable prices only for the
last 60 years, it is amazing how intimately connected it has become to
our lives. The most prevalent non-ferrous metal, aluminum is strong and
lightweight, recyclable and to many people, indispensable for modern
living.
